I am designing the front seat for the driftboat, and need someone to tell me the height from the top of the passenger seat to the top edge of the gunnels.

In example: Take a 2X4 and lay it across the gunnels above the passenger seats. Measure from the bottom edge of the 2X4 to the top of the seat.

Found out tonight the built in fish-box wasn't going to work, and spent several hours this afternoon re-designing and re-building my rowers seat. I hadn't figured in the height of the padded rowers seat, so the original design had my belt-line 4" above the gunnels, which is 4" too high. Had to cut 4" out of the seat (height), so it would sit low enough that I wasn't half out of the boat when rowing.

Hoping I can build in more storage space under the passenger seat...depending on what y'all tell me.

Thanks, in advance!

Mike
